Troubled Inside: Responding to the Mental Health Needs of Men in Prison
Dora Rickford and Kimmett Edgar
This report examines why men who have serious mental health problems end up in prison. It shows how the early warning system of court diversion and liaison schemes has broken down. It explores the lack of mental health care for the majority of prisoners, who have less serious, but nonetheless debilitating, mental health problems. Particular topics include: self-harm and suicide, dual diagnosis, learning disabilities, deafness, the elderly, prisoners holding foreign nationality, and Black and Minority Ethnic prisoners. It concludes with comprehensive recommendations about how to improve policy and practice.
